A Wonderful Weekend!!/But bad news...

First the wonderful part.Well we had a visitor this weekend. We brought my mother-in-law over for the weekend. While she was here my wonderful loving husband put down new floors. We put in hard wood floors everwhere except the family room and bedrooms. It looks so good. It took all weekend, but was worth it.
I took my convertible out of storage and put her on the road again!! So I took my mother-in-law home today , then went to see my mom. Now the bad part. My mom has a spinal decease that eats away at your spine till your in a wheel chair, it's crippling, so my crazy study group, she needs your prayers really bad right now. I took her last week for the xrays and punctures(those help with the pain), and found out she needs to have 2 surgeries at the same time. First their going to cut her nerve endings and then their going to fuse her spine, and put in blocks for pain relief. The down side they told me was their not sure if she'll walk after her surgery, she may need a wheel chair for the rest of her life, and that's if she lives thru the surgery. As you all know she is really overwieght.
Ok, now that's out of the way, how is everyone? Enjoying the wonderful weather? I am. I love the smell of the blooms in my yard, especially sweet woodruft. It smells so good with the blooming lilac's. Ops, gotta go, my phones ringing, hubby's calling. B4N Sandy..

April Showers and April Flowers!!

Well April has had it's up's and down's as far as the weather is concerned. Easter weekend it was warm and sunny, this past weekend it rained, poured and rained some more.
On a sunny note, all of my fruit trees are in bloom and doing well. My maple tree has leaves on it, and my other trees are getting leaves .
We went for a ride on Sunday to Tree Phones, the snow there was 2 feet deep, it will be at least a few more weeks before we will be able to get to Eagle Nest, but the drive up was without snow or mud.
I got new arrows and went out to sight them in, I hit a heart shot on my 1st. fifty yard shot!! My husband looked at me and let out a huge woohoo,lol. I Love that Man!! It's so awesome to have a husband who roots for you, and celebrates your achievements!!
I read a book this week while the weather was making things grow, it's called "Waiting for Summer's Return", by Kim Vogel Sawyer, it was a lot like "Love Comes Softly", by Janette Oke. Although it wasn't exactly the same, there we're some differences. A good read though.
The kids and I watched the movie of "Love Comes Softly" and "Loves Enduring Promise" last week. They enjoyed them and so did I.
Well I must go, my hubby should be home soon, and I'm baking cookies so he'll have warm cookies and ice cold milk before his shower,lol..B4N Sandy...

SPRING,SPRING,SPRING!!

Oh how I love the Spring. Flower's bloom, grass is green, and the smell... We had to mow our yard, which is 1 acre huge. We live on 3 acres, the other 2 acres is pasture for horses. This past week we had 70 degree weather. We put in a stone path using my troy tillar thru my flower garden. It winds thru my flowers from one side to another, both ends have a trellis with a gate. Both gates lead to a different area of my yard, form a side yard to a back yard. The far back yard has a target range for archery. The boat and 5th. wheel are both parked in a garage in the general area. We have rabbits running around, pea fowl, pheasants also, and a new litter of kittens in the barn.
Easter weekend was spent with my sister-in-law and her family in the Yakima Valley. Easter Sunday it was clear and 78. We had a bbq and skeet shoot while watching the ducks that we had raised and turned loose last year. One of our mother ducks had 13 ducklings, and we had 2 fathers and 5 mothers, so that got carried away and we had to set them loose at my sister-in-laws place along the river last summer. It was nice to see them again and hand feed them.
It's nice being home and we hope that this next weekend we can sit back and relax, not be on the road so much. We were invited to go salmon fishing on the 28th of April, but were not sure about going. Finding a place to park a 28 foot 5th. wheel is not a lot of fun when you are going to a small camp ground along the Columbia River.
Well my baby boy is due this Wed. the 11th. I can't wait. Well my Love is calling, it's time for bed, so I must go, I have another busy day tomorrow. B4N Sandy...

Merry Christmas,Happy Birthday and Happy Mother's Day!!

Well we are ALL back home. The Yakima/Naches River was down, not on the highway. The weather was warm, a little rain on Saturday. Perfect on Sunday. We got all our Mother's things done for them, had a wonderful dinner with my Father and Step Mother. A wonderful weekend altogether.
My Mother in Law has cancer, she been battling for 4 years now. So she missed Christmas with all the family. She decided to celebrate Christmas this past weekend. Everyone got something. I got a TroyBilt mini rototillar, it's a lot like a Mantis, but a little bigger, and better. She said it was my Christmas, Birthday and Mother's Day gift. Now I can till myself, I don't have to wait for a weekend for my Husband to do it. And it's all electric, no gas, no pulling. Just plug it in and off I go. It works wonders!
I went into my safety deposit and got some photo's out on Monday, I'm going thru them all and will post some on a photo blog.
Well my Husband is saying it's bedtime, so I must go. B4N Sandy...
